The Volvo estate or wagon known as the Volvo V70 was made for 20 years from 1996 to 2016. Volvo replaced the V70 with the V90 starting in 2017. However, while in production over 1.3 million were made including the popular all wheel drive version, the XC70. Throughout the years they were available with either a 4 cylinder, 5 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine. First generation models were an improved Volvo 850 model with the body squareness removed. They came standard with front wheel drive, or with the upgrade of all wheel drive versions which were badged V70AWD. The V70 underwent a design change in 2000 when British designer, Peter Horbury who described the concept as Jaguar E-type front marries Ford Transit rear created a sleeker, rounder version. Interior always sat 5 comfortably and all the years offered a 3rd seat option to boost capacity to 7. These cars were manufactured with upgraded safety features like improved SRS-systems, introducing dual stage deployment for front air bags, increased volume for the side impact air bags and adding WHIPS whiplash protection system. Mechanically these cars had many upgrades including anti-lock braking went from 3 channel to 4, adaptive shift logic automatic transmissions and engine control system changed from mechanical to drive by wire throttle.
